There’s no comparison between real handmade soap and commercial soaps that are available on store shelves everywhere. According to numerous trustworthy online sources, soap is largely water, lye, and fats or oils.
When a lye and water solution is mixed with the fats, the chemical reaction is known as “saponification”, which is the reaction of hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, and greasy acid molecules, leading to about 3 parts soap and one part glycerin. Glycerin is a rich emollient valued for its capability to moisturize the skin and is kept in handmade soaps, but is removed in commercial soap as a valuable spinoff leaving the hard dry bars of soap sold at Wal-Mart and some place else.
Correctly prepared hand-crafted soaps have no lye remaining, and it may not be made without it. Handmade soap is rich and moisturizing, eases and softens the skin, and cleans without drying.
Home made items for the bath and spa leave even sensitive, allergy-prone skin feeling splendidly moisturized, luxuriously soft and smooth. Soaps and other skin products are fantastically scented with rosewater, organic herbs, and flowers grown in ecological gardens.
